Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, and Nollywood actor Charles Okocha engaged in a heated verbal confrontation during a face-off ahead of their celebrity boxing showdown.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the highly anticipated bout, tagged “Chaos in the Ring,” is scheduled to take place on July 31 in Lagos.

Videos shared online by the event organisers , Balmoral Promotions, and reposted by Okocha on his verified Instagram page showed the celebrities confronting each other on stage before security personnel intervened.

In the footage, both artistes traded fierce insults, stood up, and threw mock punches, as they appeared alongside a moderator to discuss their readiness for the highly anticipate rematch.

The rematch is coming after Portable secured a unanimous decision victory over Okocha in their first meeting earlier in the year, prompting the actor to invoke the rematch clause.
